ments the instincts of self preservation
would be cOwardice in a fight against
a society that is based upon rObb5ry
and sustained by murder. Renewed

more than that they died for justice"
T. J. Morgan, local Socialist leader
of English birth, made violent ha-
rangue which excited comments from
the crowd. He said there could be
nothing but contempt for the law
which hung the anarchists. Here was
the moment when one excited listener

Grinnell and Judge Gary, and referred
sneeringly to the spread-eagleism of

of the listeners did not relish his re-
marks and when he asked how the
wrongs of the working class could DE
righted many shouted: "By the ballots"
There was no cOunter-outbreak, the
majority of the spectators listened in
dead silence and gazing steadfastly at
! the collins. The last speech was in
German by Albert Curtin, formerly of
the Arbeiter Zeitung. He scarcely got
a start when Captain Black stepped to
the front and laid his hand on the
speakers arm. 1t was now pitch dark
in the graveyard, and the people were
being wrought up to a high tension of
excitement by the oratory and the sur
rOundings. Captain Black now gave
the word that the ceremonies would
now be considered closed. There was
movement showing that the cotlins
were being carried &to the blackness

stampede for the train. The greatest
object lesson of the century was at an
end.

Actual Destruction OF Two Men by These
Monsters OF the Mud. 3n
In Zola's "Ventre de- Paris" which
is being played at one of the principal
theaters Of the French capital, the
hero, Florent, who has escaped from
Cayenne, tells o thrilling story Of how
one Of his comrades became stuck in
the mud while trying to get away from
the penal settlement, and was devoured
by land craps. The story is founded
on fact, for M. Ranc, the well-known
French Deputy, relates that the fate
which overlook Florent's friend really
befell Pianori, the son of the Italian
shoemaker who in 1865 attempted to
shoot the Emperor Napoleon iii, and
was afterward executed. Pianori, Jr.,
was in London at the time, but
when he came to Paris he was arrest
ed as a dangerous person by order
Of the Imperial Government. He was
banished to Cayenne and placed with
forty others, all republicans, on DEVILS
Island, place from which it was so
difficult to escape that no supervision
was exercised over the convicts. The
republicans, however, vowed to have
their freedom or death, and raft was
constructed on which they expected to
escape to Dutch Guiana. Out OF the
forty, thirty-fve only reached their
destination, and these were raving
maniacs, owing to hunger, thirst, heat
and privation. Three died from sun
stroke, and two-a Pole named Bog
inski and Pianori- tried to get ashore
on some marshy island. but they sank
in the fetid mud up to their mouths,
and were found some days afterward
by negroes. their faces and bodies hav-
ing been partially eaten away by tho
monster crabs sof those latitnies. -

WATER AND CLIMATE.

Influence Upon the Latter.
While so many are interested in fish
ponds because Of the fish that are to be
reared in them, 1t may not be amiss to
speak Of their possible Influence upon
our climate. which seems to be Under
going changes that are noticed with
feelings of uneasiness. 1t may be OBJ
served that bodies Of water have o
tempering influence upon climate.
much the same as forests have. All
who have studied the movements Of
storms are aware Of the influence which
stream of water has upon their
course. An especial opportunity do
those enjoy, in this respect, who live
upon the dividing line or "water shed"
between two rivers.
When, in time of drought, shower
comes up in your direction. 1t will
almost always turn and follow one or
the other Of the streams. Indeed,
1t is not an unfrequent occur
renee for it to divide, part following
one stream and part the other.
When there is severe drought in o
section of country it is not uncommon
to see cloud come up in certain
distance and stop there until the water
all rains out Of it, so that it is only
after repeated efforts, SO to speak, that
shower can pass over the dry and
heated section; but after tho ground
has become wet we see no more Of
these things, and it rains as it did in
the days of old. The clouds roll up as
though they meant business, and pour

and sometimes more.
What makes these differences, If Il
Is not the attraction of the moisture
upon the earth for that in the clouds?
From these considerations we are led
to believe that bodies and streams Of
water exert an important and attract.
i've influence upon rain storms, espe-
cially in dry times, when there is most
ne ed of it. And, furthermore, since
it is an acknowledged fact that all
rain originates from evaporation, the
vapor saturating the atmosphere with
moisture, which is condensed into
clouds and falls as rain, it follows as a
logical sequence that in those regions
where there are numerous streams
and bodies Of water. these necessary
agents are always at hand. and always
at work in the formation Of rain.
From these considerations it would
seem that If every farmer had his fish.

well known that countries adjacent t.

Water absorbs heat from the sun and

circumstance it becomes reservoir Of
heat which is given off during the
night after the earth has parted with

How Two Impecunious Bohemians Oh.

Years agone. when Will Visscher,
the lecturer, was an impecunious Bo-
hemian, he and co-worker, who is
now wealthy and distinguished actor.
were sojourning in this city. They
woke up one bright sunny morning in
a handsome apartment, the rent for
which had been paid when they were
flush. That morning was the success.
or Of an evening in which they had
gone to bed supperless. What was
worse, the prospect for breakfast was
hidden in deep obscurity.
They sat for u time as q committee
of ways and means, and were about to
adjourn without arriving at satisfac-
tory conclusions, when an Italian with
a hand-organ and monkey appeared in
the street just outside their window.
The monkey skipped about collecting
pennies, and the hungry Bohemians
saw him and enticed him into the
room through the window and coolly
proceeded to rob him. The gentleman
from Yucatan was exceedingly recall
citrant and chatted and kicked with
much vehemencc. but his assailants
were relentless. They obtained six.
teen cents in good copper coin and
fired Mr.. Monk. Then. closing tho
window and retreating by . back way,
they purchased coffee and buns and
thus saved to grateful world two
men who have furnished 1t, since those
days, much food for fun and great

Nerve and Indlfrerencs 20 Danger Requi.
l7ai site for workr.en.
No hospitals are ever required around
a dynamite factory. as the wounded
are seldom found. In . large estab.
lishment where immensr quantities of
powder are being handled, there is
never an explosion, except tits a very
serious one, and all who are within
reach are killed outright Powder men
realize this fact, and always assert.
with grim resignation. that ifany thing
happens they never expect to know
any thing about It. To be scattered
into fragments Instantly Is their full
expectation.
The chief dread connected with the
manufacture Of all high explosives is
the unaccountableness Of many explo-
sions. From atmospheric conditions
and other unknown and uncomfortable
causes explosions often ocsurin mys-
terious and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Gelatine is the most powerful explo-
sive now used. 1t is o compound Of
gun cotton and nitro-glycerinc, which
must be mixed together till it resem-
bles thick, dark paste, like stiff fruit
jelly. The workmen mix il in pan
as woman mixes -four and water into
dough. Tho hands are covered with
long rubber. gloves. This gelatinc
powder or paste is twice as powerful
as dynamite. and there is'quitc de-
mand for it in blasting the hardest
rock in railroad tunnela
A most stupondous e.,lbition OF
nerve and coolnees is somgtimes re-
quircd in the life Of a mar l,ho works
in dynamite. One year age, IN local
factory, four-thousand- -poand tank Of
nitro-glycerine suddenly caught fire.
Flames six feet high burst from tho
surface Of the fluid. Superintendent
Frank Roller and foreman Erick Starke
were present. and they Immediately
turned compressed air into the tank.
and by other means suppressed the
flames. 1t must be remembered that
the nitro-glycerine will burn until a
heat of about three hundred and fifty
degrees is reached, and then 1t will ex-
plode. If the fire can be ,cxtinguished
before that degree of heat is reached,
there will be no serious consequence.
In the above instance. it was the safer
course to try to put out the flames, as
If an explosion was to occur it would
come too quickly to allow escape to a
safe distance. A man under such cir.
cumstances. however, is more liable To
use his legs than his thinking faculties.
If that tank had exploded its mate
standing within six feet of 1t would
also have exploded. sending up eighi
thousand pounds Of nitro-glycerine Ii
one flash. The detonation would, n,
doubs, have been sessiksssS felt In Al
parts Of the State. - San francisco
